Three Border Triathlon

Posted on by

We’re delighted to let you know about this great fundraising effort by one of the Non-Multiplex Cinema team. Nadine Horn’s Three Border Triathlon. On the 21st of April she will be setting out to embark on a triathlon over three countries, cycling across Switzerland by bike (~460Km), swimming along the Danube (~550km) and running across Austria (~315Km). Her aim is to raise funds for the Danube, engage people to join and support the project world-wide by grabbing one of the cool T-shirts. It’s the combination of adventure and fundraising, documenting it along the way with an HD Go Pro underwater camera and other equipment to then share it with everyone. You can be part of it and support the Three Border Triathlon by joining the Buzz here http://forms.aweber.com/form/70/1423959170.htm, hitting the Facebook like button here https://www.facebook.com/threebordertriathlon and Tweeting about it here https://twitter.com/#!/Adventure_Nads or visit her site at: www.nadinehorn.com/threebordertriathlon

In Motion

Posted on by

We are delighted to help raise the profile of In Motion – an independent UK feature film currently raising funds. In Motion is a love story between Leon, a British artistic gymnast, and Bao, a Chinese rhythmic gymnast, set in London against the backdrop of an international sporting event. The budget for this film is £250,000 and so far they have raised £60,000 through private investment. They still have many other avenues of funding to explore and due to the strength of the story and the script they are sure they will raise the rest of the budget in the next few months. They are also running a ‘crowd-funding’ campaign to raise £8,000 of the budget. Currently they have raised £1,300 through this scheme, however the pitch is only live for another 2 weeks. They have the full support of Len Arnold who is the chairman of London gymnastics, and Ex-Olympic gymnast Hannah Mckibben has been working with them on the script and will play a major part in the film as the choreographer. In Motion is a really beautiful film that will boost the profile of gymnastics in a very positive light. The main themes are; breaking down cultural barriers, success through sport and courage in the face of adversity. Please find a link to the Crowdfunder pitch here: http://www.sponsume.com/project/motion-feature-film and also check out their website here http://www.infinitepotentialfilms.com/

In Motion is aimed at family audiences across the globe, it is a unique project that will resonate with modern audiences and stimulate peoples interest in gymnastics.

Non-Multiplex Cinema’s Film & Music Breakthrough

Posted on by

Two of our goals this year are to help new filmmakers break into feature filmmaking and to help grow ties between independent filmmakers and musicians. You’ll already have seen the details of our Breakthrough event coming up later this month as well details of our latest music video production. And the perfect introduction to this is through the song “Breakthrough” by Public Symphony. Their acclaimed debut album was remastered and rereleased in 2010 to wide critical praise and their work has been used in films and TV. They would welcome the chance to work with independent filmmakers. All the details of the band can be found here http://www.publicsymphony.com/fr_home.cfm and you can enjoy their song Breakthrough here http://soundcloud.com/publicsymphony/breakthrough-public-symphony

Latest Non-Multiplex Cinema Production Now Online

Posted on by

Our latest production is the official music video for the Anglo-Swedish band Tender Objects new release and can now be seen online. Tender Objects are a jangly indiepop band from the UK and Sweden influenced by 80s and 90s guitar-infused tunes by bands such as Orange Juice, The Smiths, and The Cardigans. The song April Showers is one of two songs by Tender Objects on the Dufflecoat Records split CD EP with Indonesian indiepop band Funny Little Dream which has already sold out! We’ll let you know details about it’s further availability soon. The Trip TV alternative music blog says of this song: “a beautiful pop thrash reminding me a bit of the likes of Tsunami”. And while saying the EP is “gorgeous”, Chris who writes the blog says the band are full of “pop joy but with a shot of added punk-pop drive”. The video was made by Niall Urquhart, Alys Rowe and Paul Turtill and starred Hermione Halpin. It’s also a collaboration that came about as a direct result of networking at a Non-Multiplex Cinema event! Thanks to all involved.
